A school year comes to a close and HELLO Summer!!

My sweet babies making last minute Mother's Day preparations while Ben is cooking me breakfast and I enjoy sleeping in!
Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mamas out there!! I never really grasped the sacrifice and unconditional love moms have until I traveled the same path. Happy Mother's Day to Mom Cooley and Mom Uitti who we love so much and now we know how much impossibly more they love us.
Ahhhh, a perfect morning. To hold my babies while being served by my man...Yes, please! (Crackers courtesy of my little Drewman)
On our way to church.
And celebrating with Brunch at Troy's Sedona Taphouse afterwards! We were able to celebrate with Mom and Stan, Megs and Chad, Mama Z. (Chad and Ry's mom) and Ryan and Melanie!!!
Our spring has been filled to the brim between school, work, and now extra-curricular activities for not just 1 kiddo but now Elle as well! Time to get that mini-van...It is our lifestyle through and through.
Luke's biggest fans cheering him on!
Luke played Little League this season and he LOVED it! He was on the Diamond Backs team and a couple of his buddies from school were on the team with him even his bestie Gibson. Ben also loved coaching the team just like his Dad and Mr. Heinig did for him and Matt as they were growing up.
Luke was 14 and my heart does a double beat with him and his best buddy Gibby. These two have been inseparable this year.















Elle graduates from her preschool at Kensington! Here she is with her fabulous, God-filled, loving and fearless teachers Ms. Karen, Ms. Darlene, and Ms. Angee. We are so thankful for these three pouring into our daughter and plating those important seeds for her future.
Talking about besties...Here is Elle with her Lilah. These two love each other beyond measure! They attended preschool and kid care together so they spent all five days a week together and not to mention her mama is my girl as well. We like to refer to them as our little ol ladies. They are all things sweet and the next minute they are fighting dirty with each other. They are two peas in a pod.
Ellie was given her spiritual gift from her teachers.
We loved that our girl was also filled up with Biblical teachings, memorized Bible verses, and fell in love with belting her vice out to worship songs! 
Grandma C. came in town that night and we celebrated with dinner and...
Elle got her new backpack for Kindergarten!!
